      That uppercut by Lennox would have knocked out a ***in horse and Vitali just ate it up. Credit where credit is due.
      David Tua has a better chin than Vitali

        Out of the new fighters coming on the scene. I'd say Brandon Rios.

Margarito withstood excellent shots but I couldn't see him being successful at that even at 154. Mosley stopped him, Daniel Santos rocked him pretty bad and Danny Perez put him on his ass. I don't mean to discredit him at all as he's in my top five but I'm hesitant to place him at #1.
            Toney was a slick ****er. He was very good at rolling with the punches. Margarito meanwhile ate punches head on.

              Exactly. Margarito literally blocked punches with his face just to land his own and he was rarely hurt. Mosley was throwing bombs on his head and margarito never went out cold.

              Most if not all of the guys being mentioned had way better defense than margarito did.

                    yeah - but you also need to fight top fellas and not just duds.
